Ran a new, flat 5 miler route this evening (after the 5 spot this morning). Had my headphones on which nearly cancel out all sounds - not necessarily a good idea on dark, 9 p.m. roads (but I was careful).
Was moving - at around 7:45 miles per minute - which doesn't sound fast and really isn't fast until I tell you that I was only pumping at 159 BPM - which is much, much lower than I usually do at this speed. Add in that I'd run 5 miles this a.m. and I'm pretty excited about the result!
Final thought - I recovered down to 112 (average 114) bpm 2 mins after the run was complete and the only hill on the course is right before the finish (significantly elevating my heart rate right at the end of the run).
